Assassin's Creed 3
Even though its the 5th game in the series and the 4th in as many years, Assassin's Creed 3 has been revealed and will take place in America during the era of the Revolutionary War
I don't remember Ubuisoft every saying that ACIII would focus on Desmond. That seemed to be fan speculation (along with several other time periods including the American Revolution). Personally, I think a completely Desmond led game would be lame.

I think people are talking about the end of Assassin's Creed Revelations, which seemed to have hinted at jumping to the current day.
I believe Ubisoft has said that Desmond's story concludes in 2012, and would be odd for it to go beyond that in the real world

There was an interview sometime between Brotherhood and Revelations that basically said "Revelations will be the last we see of Ezio, and 3 will be desmond's game and the end of the trilogy."

That was about it.
I remember reading this article where it was said:
“The meta story is supposed to be carried on forever. We can go on with this brand where we want to – that’s the exciting part about the way it’s constructed. As we’ve said all along, this is the end of Ezio’s story arc; it’s a great place to jump in the franchise and anyone who has played the previous games should have some satisfaction with the answers they get at the end.”

"In Assassin's Creed we set up a timeline with this whole end of the world plot of December 2012. That's fast approaching, and the story we have to tell, we obviously need to do it before we arrive at that point.
"We had such a complex and strong narrative that we ourselves did our best to just try to execute these games before that date. It would be stupid of us to be centring a game on a semi-reality and then have that conclusion happen after that date in real life."
Quote:
"Assassin's Creed is all about cycles - we have the Ezio cycle and the Altair cycle, and both of those are set to conclude in Revelations and we have the Desmond cycle, which is set to end on December 2012. But there's many cycles within the brand - that's the whole point. History is our playground."
Maybe 3 will be the end of Desmond's story without focusing on him
Ok this is making me curious. What's the deal with this Ezio/Desmond business? Are they the main characters of the previous games?? How does that work, I thought the games were hundreds of years apart...

They are the main characters. Desmond lives in the modern age, where this company has invented a device called the animus, which uses genetic "memory" to let you relive parts of your ancestor's lives. Ezio is his ancestor, and lived during the Renaissance.
You spend most of the game playing as Ezio, but it occasionally jumps back to Desmond.
